Quote:I know many other religions consider the New Church a heresy.
The word 'heresy' is has no clout with me. I see it as arrogant to the point of hubris.
Quote:It works for me.
Now that's great,I 'm pleased for you. Sadly, I'm unable to share your beliefs without supporting proof.
At 16, I came up with some(non legalistic) stuff about the nature of sin,grace, redemption, the nature of heaven and hell,eternity and some other things which made perfect sense to me compared with official Catholic theology. However, I could not PROVE any of my ideas. That made my ideas propositions,which is what ALL religious beliefs are..
To me,theology is no more than pious mental masturbation.
Quote:I just have a few questions to those Christians who might be here who aren't creationists
Most Christians are creationists, simply not willfully ignorant literalists.
I was raised Catholic,and taught that evangelicals and other fundamentalists were on the lunatic fringe of Christendom,like the Mormons. However,that was largely irrelevant,because they were all going to hell along with all other protestants.

Things have changed since Vatican 2,since which time the church has officially pretended some non Catholics are going to heaven.
